Massachusetts has more new COVID cases per capita than Georgia, Florida, or Texas Our wastewater data (below) shows more infections in the community than we had in April Our hospitalizations, deaths are up 100% in last 3 weeks But our casinos and tanning salons are still open
Excellent take on why interdisciplinary approaches such as #OneHealth are critical to addressing these challenging issues
